Sandpoint Bike Week - 2008
May 31st to June 7th, 2008
Organized by Pend Oreille Pedalers and North Idaho Bikeways
Sponsored by Outdoor Experience, Sandpoint Sports, and Sports Plus
We've expanded!
Last September, we had over 250 bikers who made the First Annual Sandpoint Bike to Work Day a huge success.
This year, we have an entire week of great events. The change in date ties in better with Bike to Work events around the country scheduled for May and June; allows us to include the schools; and we hope will start many on a summer of riding fun to work and school, around town, and as part of their regular exercise program. So leave your car in the driveway and hop on your bike!
